Chapter 138: Thor's Power Boost, Let's Go!

"No wonder Odin chose you to be king. If you were allowed to grow fully, I fear I would not be your match, and you would become the greatest threat to the balance of the universe."

The Overlord's Sky Blade spun through the air and landed back in Thanos' hand. His voice was cold and emotionless, as if the gaping wound on his chest did not exist.

Thanos remained confident. Although Thor's defense had surprised him, it did not seem insurmountable.

As Thor's injury began to heal visibly, Thanos' eyes narrowed.

This kind of ability, coupled with the remarkable defense previously displayed, was familiar to him. It seemed to be called Super Endurance? Super Recovery?

This ability was very similar to a former powerful being of the Eternals to which Thanos belonged.

The body did not need to sleep or eat and had nearly limitless endurance.

Almost all physical attacks could not inflict damage, and it could resist magical assaults.

It could withstand direct hits from high-caliber weapons, naval artillery, extreme pressures, and temperatures, and might not even need to breathe to survive.

A potent regenerative factor allowed muscle tissue, organs, and bones to heal quickly after injury, and it could use cosmic energy to accelerate cell repair.

The Regenerative Factor possessed by Hyperion also made him immune to all diseases, poisons, pollutants, and radiation.

But none of this mattered now, as that being, who could not even comprehend his own thoughts, had been destroyed along with everyone on Titan, becoming the first step towards realizing Thanos' ideals.

"But all of this will be irrelevant, as you won't survive to see it."

Thor sneered. "You can't defeat me now. Try if you don't believe me..."

Lightning flickered in his eyes as he summoned a massive surge of electricity that struck Thanos, propelling him several meters away. Majestic lightning surrounded Thor, spinning toward Thanos.

Eitri, a dwarf nearby, panicked—Thor was weaponless, yet still so bold? Didn't he see that Thanos held a blade?

Then, in the next instant, his eyes widened as Thor veered through the air, changing direction toward Ebony Maw.

Without Gungnir in his hands, Thor would not have been able to breach Ebony Maw's defenses. Only a fool would engage him directly. The priority was to deal with Ebony Maw first and allow the powerful Captain Marvel to assist...

Eitri had gained some understanding of Thor's strength from the recent battle. While it was indeed impressive, it was not invincible. At the very least, it was not enough to contend directly with the Overlord's Blade.

Corvus Glaive raised his double-bladed spear and lunged.

"Get down with your weapon!" Thor swatted the spear away, grabbed Corvus Glaive by the hair, and hurled him toward Thanos.

Ebony Maw, who had been casting spells rapidly, was caught off guard as Thor rushed him and knocked him away.

Realizing he had been deceived, Thanos quickly pursued Thor.

"Hey, let me try to charge you up." Thor had a flash of insight and placed his hand on Carol's shoulder, continuously channeling electricity into her.

Carol nearly twitched, her body glowing brighter as her hands emitted a continuous wave of light, stronger than ever before, blasting toward Thanos.

"Hoo hoo hoo..." Thanos raised the Overlord's Sky Blade, spinning at high speed to block the light waves, advancing with difficulty.

"One more time!" Carol shouted, and Thor complied, placing his other hand on her shoulder.

Now, the golden light in Carol's eyes had a tinge of blue.

"Haa Buzzz—"

"Boom..."

With a deafening roar, it seemed like the dwarves of Nidavellir had witnessed the birth of a second sun. The blinding light made the entire battlefield dark, as if day had turned to night in an instant, with the bright lights resembling the actual sun.

Where the energies collided, violent explosions created powerful shockwaves. Thanos, Thor, and Carol were all hurled backward.

The explosion's shockwave cleared the smoke and dust, and Thor quickly rushed to Wanda, embracing her and shielding her from the incoming shockwave.

Wanda's physical resilience was not as great as a typical dwarf's, making it difficult to withstand such a shockwave.

Corvus Glaive rolled away from the impact, while Ebony Maw managed to use Black Dwarf's massive corpse as a shield, blocking most of the shockwave.

Wanda slowly opened her eyes, feeling Thor's protective stance. She blushed and pushed away.

"You're awake?"

"Yes," Wanda nodded, "but I'm still a bit dizzy. I'm afraid I can't be of much help. At least that purple guy , I can't control it."

"It's fine. It's enough that you can stand. Just manage your emotions."

Even in her weakened state, Wanda was a significant deterrent, at the very least, a major distraction for Ebony Maw.
